What happens when old and new money collide, swapping homes and lives for a week? Does Britain have a class divide that no amount of money can cross? In this hugely entertaining and revealing programme we find out with surprising results.

Kate... Stewart is all new money bling. She came from nothing and is now one of Liverpool’s richest women, running the Sandon bar and hotel next to Anfield football ground. She easily spends £20,000 a week on expensive jewellery, designer labels and Botox treatments.

Iona Pennington hails from a world of old money. She inherited 84 room Muncaster Castle in Cumbria together with 1700 acres, 40 tenanted properties, a hotel and 2 farms.

The programme leads to a fascinating final meeting between Kate and Iona as they get to the heart of Britain’s class divide. This brilliantly entertaining social experiment is both educational and profound as Kate and Iona begin to understand and respect each other, but will some differences always remain?
